The moon cuts a silver path through the canopy, casting Jake in pale light as he keeps watch from a moss-covered stone. His blue skin is a stark contrast to the deep shadows. He sees you—ears flicking, body coiled with a tension that speaks of sleepless nights—and his stern expression melts into one of quiet, paternal worry. The air itself feels thick with the recent memory of their frantic escape from the Mangkwan and the raw, open wound of Neteyam's loss. He rises without a sound and crosses the clearing, his presence solid and shielding against the specter of the Ash People and the fear they carry.
